Now that our online assessment platform Yacapaca is completely free, many users will want to roll it out across the whole school. To help, we have put together this innovative package of training and technical support at an astoundingly low introductory price.

  • A complete training course on how to use the system to set, mark and author different assessment types using the system. The course is delivered on CD-ROM and through Yacapaca itself. It uses a mix of video, tests and text resources to create a compelling package that any teacher can use to become expert in the system. Teachers can follow the course at their own pace, or take it together in a group.
  • Unlimited email support for a whole year.
